Yes they do. They pay an allowance of $24k per month that is meant to include, amongst other things, housing/accommodation.

Hey Mate
Here is what to expect for the SKYPE ENGLISH TEST:
3 to 5 sentences paragraph read out loud by a lady; point is to repeat the all thing without missing key points, short term memory and comprehension I guess...
She will have 4 or 5 short paragraph like that for u to repeat ... each time she picks up one word and ask you to give a synonym and/or a quick definition of the word. Overall the test takes 10 to 15min, sound quality was good but I used an headset to ensure quietness ... Anyone with L4 ICAO should pass without probs.
No answer is given by the end of the test and it takes up to 72Hrs to get a GO/NOGO from recruitment Team.
Hope this helps the followings guy gals scheduled for the skype test..
Cheers

Hi,

the overall simride in fact, I found the joy pretty sensitive. And as I have never flown on Airbus I was stuck on the pfd!!

HKA fast upgrades

A heads up for all you experienced A320 First Officers thinking of applying to HKE.

HKA is now advertising with CAE Parc for direct entry FO fast command upgrade 12-18 months. HKE currently very slow with upgrades, could take a new joiner now up to at least 5-6 years, even with experience. Currently upgrading 4-5 FOs per year, HKA looks a much brighter option for FOs.

Just saying...

Are you guys applying through agencies or directly from the HK Express website?

Could anyone advice what the difference is, thought I saw housing included on the CAE Parc website, could anyone confirm that.

Going in October HK Express assessment

Hi ncjulo! I'm going for the tests in October, could you please either PM me or write here for a brief summary what is happening exactly on day 1. I received the info of, Group Excercises, Indivudual Interview and SIM.
Is the group excercises actual group discussion on topics and challenges? or Compass Tests?

Thank you for help
